Creating a snap is easy!

Snaps have a very simple internal structure — you can easily craft them by hand! But the easiest way to build a snap is with snapcraft, which supports building from source and from existing packages. Snapcraft also handles publishing your snaps
to the world. Read how to create a snap and join the snap crafting community — we have a fun crowd of people who hang out on Rocket Chat and on the snapcraft forum.
